In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Buzzfeed given a beat down by the UK courts. They did not ‘in fact’ report ‘Pentagon Papers’ but merely an unverified click bait, not a journalistic coup. Additionally the judge confirms that Steele did not provide the whole document or pages of it to anyone and yet the FBI still got their copy.

BREAKING: Sen. Chuck Grassley suggests in letter that Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein may have delegated to Robert Mueller the authority to sign FISA warrant requests without having to go through the office of the Attorney General.

“Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn actress Stormy Daniels, broke his promise to make a $2-million payment that was due Monday under the settlement of his firm’s bankruptcy, a new lawsuit alleges.”

“Avenatti agreed in December to pay $4.85 million to Jason Frank, a former lawyer at Avenatti’s Newport Beach law firm, but missed the first installment of $2 million, according to a suit filed Wednesday in state Superior Court in Los Angeles.”

JUST IN: Judge Ellis moves the hearing scheduled for May 25 in Paul Manafort's case in Virginia — on his requests to suppress evidence and dismiss one charge — back two weeks, to June 8, to give the judge more time. pic.twitter.com/FdKo9dW4Cu

Deb Sorry, but you’re the one who is lashing about about something you IMAGINED. The only comment was that the thread made sense if you were a chess player. That is a TRUE statement. The commenter hastened to add that even people who weren’t chess players were still important. So WHY the hostility? What triggered you to have such and emotional and hostile response? Hopefully you’re as puzzled as I am, realize your response was way out of line for what was said then solve your problem so we can MAGA together. Get well soon. God bless.

Yes, this is a magnificent piece of sleuthing, of the quality that we Treepers have come to expect of links posted by commenters here. Thanks to Sundance for the primary investigative reporting model with infinite depth, integrity, wisdom and humor. This post thanks to Paul Serran. All are good soldiers in this fight against “domestic terrorism.” What else can we call this treason but by its proper name?

Could we have known that we elected a “domestic terrorist” in 2008 and re-elected him (maybe) in 2012? This question is worthy of a Q posting.

I think we all might guess that it took a great deal of government-agency weaponization plus cooperation by globalist-GOPe and CoC “domestic terrorists” for the Ultimate “0” (no resume, no experience, not intelligent, not eligible, red-diaper baby, etc., etc., etc.) to have been reelected in 2012. It took massive voter fraud plus the Republicans throwing in every towel they could find. It wasn’t easy to throw that election — to the “domestic terrorists” – traitors all.

In hind sight, their massive arrogance did them in. They didn’t figure that Americans, real red-blooded Americans, would challenge them. And….and….and their arrogance permitted them to run a loser candidate who was not just a “domestic terrorist” (ideologist), but a master criminal with an unimaginable record of pay to play, foreign and domestic, with lots and lots of Arcancide-deaths in her wake.

Never fear. Our heroes are on the job. And the American Republic will be so cleaned up and restored, we will have to go back to our childhoods, those of us who are “older,” to find something so good. MAGA

We are so fortunate to live in this great country with wonderful citizens. Now that we once again have a voice, that voice can be called on by citizens in other countries to reform their governments. No more cowering and giving in to various tyrannies.

I hope Congress creates a special award for LGEN Flynn (not THIS group of globalist azz-kissers, but a subsequent Congress).

The Medal of Honor would seem appropriate, but its award is only for combat under fire.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom just doesn’t seem like enough, partly because of its recent awardees and partly because LGEN Flynn is one of a very small number of people who literally saved our Constitution.

Pravda is working overtime tonight. That this alleged newspaper is still in business is a stain on honest journalists everywhere. This joke of a newspaper has its lips firmly attached to the ass of the police-state Democrats. They’re an embarrassment to the country. https://t.co/OcLXeEzCTE

It was a small rowboat that kept rowing toward Bakryong Island. SK's patrol vessel approached to check it out and inside were 40-something Korean People's Army major and NK villager. This is the 1st time a major-level KPA officer defected in 10 years.https://t.co/OmNspi4Blm
